The Rs 89.05 crore 4-lane bridge is located at the downstream of the existing bridge over Tawi River and is aimed at providing relief to traffic congestions of Tallab Tillo, Bakshi Nagar and other areas along Akhnoor Road one side and Gandhi Nagar, Satwari, Jewel Chowk, Dogra Chowk and Canal Road areas on the other.
Second phase of the project envisages construction of a 12km road from Bhagwati Nagar to TV Tower Akhnoor Road at an estimated cost of Rs 102 crore.
Expressing hope that the bridge would prove to be a great relief to commuters, especially heavy vehicle operators, who can now bypass Jammu city while travelling towards Akhnoor, Omar said the bridge will help in smooth flow of traffic.
